According to ASUS "no", but I am guessing that this is because they haven't updated the BIOS
I thought that all socket F boards should support shanghai opterons?

not really, well I would if was possible, I just assumed that it wasn't.

OK, thanks
> Is your shanghai a CPU from a store? (= no engineering sample)
yes, from shop in UK
> The terminology is that the northbridge is in the CPU
thanks, I think I understand, so older style boards had separate northbridge chips but the socket f boards + opteron have northbridge in the CPU?
